Kendall, ] Judge. O R D E R The opinion issued in the above entitled case on January 20, 2010, is hereby amended as follows: On Page 12, line 11 through the end of the paragraph should read: The bank s decision to hold off on taking full advantage of its legitimate powers until it could discuss less painful possibilities with its customer is not an impermissible threat and cannot give rise to any suit for breach. Reger Development s lone citation for the contrary proposition is Kham & Nate s Shoes No. 2, Inc. v. First Bank of Whiting, 908 F.2d 1351 (7th Cir. 1990). That opinion discussed the duties of a bank under the bankruptcy code and expressly concluded that good faith restrictions did not override a demand note lender s contractual rights and obligations. See id. at 1357 58; see also id. at 1357 ( Firms that have negotiated contracts are entitled to enforce them to the letter, even to the great discomfort of their trading partners, without being mulcted for lack of good faith. ).
